The Company has $ 1,249,353 and $ 1,237,188 of coke inventory on hand as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively (See note 4-e), which the Company would use as an input to its blast furnace in the Lorain facility which is currently idled. Management of the Company continually evaluates both the idled facility and the coke inventory for impairment. Management periodically evaluates the potential degradation of the coke inventory and has determined that it continues to be suitable as a blast furnace input or, alternatively, for sale to other blast furnace facilities. As noted in note 2, the plants located in the United States ceased operations in September 2023. The existing inventories in these plants amounted to $3,924,172 in the short term and $1,249,353 in the long term as of December 31, 2023. At the end of the year, the coke inventories and an important part of the other inventories were evaluated by an expert in the field.
